STEVEN GAY, MD

As Stanley Kalu’s first screenplay and Ali LeRoi’s (-creator of Everybody Hate Chris) feature but The Obuary of Tun Johnson, tells the story of the tular Black gay teen (Steven Silver) om a Nigerian immigrant fay who is forced to relive the day he was killed by police. The premise is cut om cloth of time loop films, but this one stands out as a queer film that expands beyond the n-of-the-l “g out” story, tacklg topics such as police btaly, terracial relatnships, beg gay an immigrant fay om Nigeria, mental health, high school prsur and other topics that are on top of md today. She sat down wh my siblgs, she sat down wh my uncl and nti and stuff like that and said, 'Steven's gay.

'Steven rells talkg to his Aunty Charmae on the phone after the fay were told he was gay. ' She said, 'But we didn't cry bee you're gay, ' she said, 'We cried bee you thought you had to hi om , and what you mt've been gog through. He says there needs to be more support servic and anisatns to assist homels gay youth bee their parents don’t want anythg to do wh them when they e also rells talkg to his Uncle Sonny about why he though he uldn’t tell the fay about beg gay.

”'Weight off my shoulrs'Steven said the fear of rejectn amongst young people n be extremely hard and difficult to pe wh pecially if you are black and gay. ”While Steven is known for both beg a poet and his edic story-tellg, he is also an spiratn to many young black gay men and women around the untry. If they're tryg to make you feel bad jt bee you're gay or bee you're black, that's their issue, they need to be ashamed of beg horrible.
